I have the floors out of the car so I can see the rear trailing arm bushings. Is it possible to remove and replace these bushings with the body on the car? If I did have to drop the trailing arm a few inches to do the removal would this put stress on the Diff mounts? I wasn't planning on changing them out at this point in time.

I don't know for sure, I suspect it would come down to whatever tool you planned to use, and if you have enough room to work. I think the frame will limit your access, particularly to the inner one.

With the arm removed from the brackets, the spring out and shock disconnected, you might be able to rotate the trailing are around the axle, such that the mounts dropped below any interference from the frame.
